  • A broad exploration into the branding of the Chicago World's Fair. Identifying particular aspects that may reveal a deeper strangeness to this event as a whole. Was this merely a World's Fair to celebrate the discovery of the New World? Or could there be more under the surface identity of this Columbian Exposition of 1893.

    Actually the lettering issue you address early on - 15 minutes in - is actually really good considering the massiveness of that structure - these poor 'inheritors' did the best they could to cover up that they found this "Old World" and because the Old World stuff is so fantastical and precise - the wording errors stand out

    The Caduceus over the archway of the mining building represents Apollyon or Apollo. CERN is located at a site where there was once a Temple of Apollyon. I believe this has something to do with entries to subterranean cities where the ruling elite go to in times of cataclysms. Many of these gateways are at mining sites, which are private and guarded from the public.

    I'll have to actually watch this one again rather than a casual listen.
    I aquired a large book from the fair. Very intentional writing throughout as well as scores of well thought photographs.
    But a lot slips through the cracks. It's very interesting if you look up copies online.

    This was a fantastic presentation. I'm very green when it comes to architecture and interpretation. However, the text passages you shared all along--but particularly the sections at the end where there is talk about restructuring the subjectivity of the "poors" (to keep things in a contemporary parlance)--is so disturbing and immediately comes across as that of a depraved system. This stuff induces nausea in me; and the more I process these facts and try to reinterpret what I know, the darked it all appears.

  • @ssidvicious1128

    The description of the admission tickets in the literature you referenced mentions 4 ticket designs. But I came across two that it didn't mention. One of them had G.Washington on it, and the other had ,I'm guessing, "George Handel" pictured on it, with "Handel" written below the portrait. I wonder why they would have used him at all for representing the Expo.

    • @LatentLexicon
      @LatentLexicon  Před 3 měsíci +1

      Yes! I came across these also and it further enforces the point of intentional design. What that intention was, is unknown to me. It is a bit of a curiosity. Maybe they were prototypes, alternatives or earlier versions of the set. Glad that these presentations are encouraging additional research.

    The odd thing about the Biblical verse is that just below it are scantily clad Women statues built onto the Building which does not comport to the nature of religious iconography - which I don't think would have nudes - so who built it ?

    Looking at the numerous pictures of the people attending the fair, almost every single person seen is well dressed and almost "upper class" looking. Not that it is a bad thing to take pride in your appearance but, we are still talking about a period here when the "wild west" was still coming to a close. "Custers Last stand" was just 16 years prior. You would think there would be at least a couple of pictures that show a few "ne'er-do-wells" scattered among the fair goers here and there lol. It would be hard to believe that not one person attended, that couldn't afford a parasol and a expensive dress, or a nice suit and hat. There is no "class diversity" going on in any of the pictures oddly. Well, unless you were an "exhibit" of course lol. That is just another of the many questions regarding this event methinks.

      Colombia (and Columbia) means "people of Columbus" supposedly but actually it is some kind of made up freemason goddess of change and trans bs they made up in the 1800s, just like many warrior goddess were in the past all the way back to Semiramis or Ishtar.

    Consider this speculative story: Jesus kept His Word and has completed his 1000 year reign on the Earth. Revelation 20:7 "When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison 8 and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth-Gog and Magog-and to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore. 9 They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God’s people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured them. 10 And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
    If the thousand years are over, the architecture may have been built by during the reign of Jesus (He can destroy and rebuild the temple in 3 days). And when Satan was loosed, he desecrated ALL of Jesus' creation in any way possible including changing dates and slapping idols everywhere. Thus created a testing ground for EVERYONE where the time of second chances expires before the known world is reborn.
    And further, perhaps the firmament collapses on this side of the Bloch plane and rises on the other side reversing gravity and trading directions for up and down when the "poles flip". Did you know the stature of liberty has a chain on its (lucifer's) ankle? Through this prism, all the lies of this world become visible. This battle is spiritual and blessed are those that love the Lord and leave it at that.

      The Scythian empire of Tartaria was pointing to the 1000 year Kingdom in heaven. I still think they are 2 different events though and the millennial kingdom will still happen when Jesus returns in his second coming.
